When I called on one pair to demonstrate a short dialogue, one women indicated the other’s headscarf ( hijab) and asked, “Why must you wear this?” This sparked a clamor for responses from most of the Muslim women, each wanting to explain why they wear the headscarves. So last week I was teaching part of a lesson on modal verbs (can, could, should, may, must, might, etc.) and had the women practice asking each other polite questions using modals (e.g., “ Can you please tell me where the next bus station is?”). All of the women from Bangladesh and Morocco are Muslim. This particular class has about eight women from Bangladesh, two from Morocco, one from India, and one from Thailand.
I’ve been teaching the same class of E2 (upper beginner/low intermediate) women every week and have loved getting to know them, learning about their cultures, and seeing their English improve.
